This MacGregor X10L Official basketball has been signed by members of the 1964 Power Memorial Academy basketball team and presented to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, then known by his birth name of Lew Alcindor. Kareem was Power’s superstar, leading the team to three-straight C.H.S.A.A. titles and a stunning 71-game winning streak. This basketball has been signed by numerous teammates of Abdul-Jabbar for reaching the incredible 2,000-point plateau. Signatures include Julian Daney, Tom Kelly, Brother Hendrickson (one of Abdul-Jabbar’s teachers at Power), Paul Houghton, Charlie Farrigan, Joe Guerra, and several others. “2000 Points” and “Power vs Holy Cross” is written on one panel in black marker. This basketball, which is currently deflated, is a terrific opportunity to own an artifact from the high school basketball team celebrating a terrific milestone from a player many agree is the greatest of all-time. This item derives directly from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and a personally hand-signed LOA from Kareem will accompany this item.
